Doctor Visit...

I came down with the serious "ick" on Saturday. Flu-like symptoms galore! Achy body, fever, headaches, coughing, sneezing, everything but pukey.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday were the worst days ever! I finally gave in and went to see the doc on Monday. Gave me a steroid shot, zpac and a codeine/morphine cough syrup. Said I had some serious respiratory infection that has been goin around.

My fever finally broke Monday afternoon and now the "ick" has moved into my chest. <cough, cough>

Anyways, the codeine/morphine syrup is wicked. Soooo wicked that I haven't touched any more of it since Tuesday nite.

I took it before bedtime on Tue and didn't sleep a wink. Every time I closed my eyes I had terrible visions. I'm talking about rotting meat, open wounds, wounded children, crap you'd see in a Marilyn Manson video, etc. Not necessarily demonic, but very disturbing.

The zpac has made me somewhat nauseous and has really done a number on my digestive system.

The things we do in order to get "better"... There's a reason that I never go to the doc when I'm sick! I just couldn't take it this time.

I say all this to say, I'm starting to feel like a human and contributing part of society again... :)

That is all. Please return to your regularly scheduled programming...

Sounds like you've had a hard time, but I can't help noticing that you have some wicked drugs left and you are feeling better. Maybe when you're not ill they'll be more fun :).....
 
Just get better and all the awful things you thought about me in those nightmares is forgiven.

Laurie!! I could never have bad thoughts about you! You're too sweet! :)

i'll send you my address,, i'll take the cough syrup!!! ;)

Funny that you say this! One of the helpers at my warehouse told me that I can sell this bottle for $100, easily!! Apparently there's a high demand for this wicked sh*t! :eek:

Lol. Hmmm, to use for personal gain or profit? That is the question... ;)
 
Glad you are feeling better, but sorry you had to go back to work! :( I think this is the first respiratory infection thread that I didn't mind seeing :D (no offense, Max :eek:)
 
I'm glad you are better!

I just came down with something similar about two days ago. I thought it wasn't a big deal because it was only a headache and a cough (it felt like a lame cold for two days!) Then, late last night/today it got crazy and I can't get out of bed. I had to pull out the humidifier, extra blankets, and a bunch of medicine. Even the pain meds I am prescribed for my migraines isn't helping with this thing, and they're the good stuff!

Sick is a terrible thing! I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy. Ok, maybe I would, but you know what I mean! :D Get well soon!
 
I guess we all got sick. I have been sick as a dog since Christmas morning. Went to the med clinic and later to an ENT doc. Today is the first day I have felt decent since the 25th!

What did you have? Glad you're feeling better! I guess we're passing the virus thru the interweb. Get it? Virus... :eek:

Ha, I guess I need a better anti virus!

Well the first doctor said it was a cold that developed in to a sinus infection. But after 5 days of steroids and antibiotics I wasn't any better. The next doctor said I had the adenovirus. Treatment being hydration and decongestants. But after being sick as hell for 10 days I'm on the mend.

Hope you are feeling better as well.
 
Aren't you a nurse or have something to do in the med field? I bet you have the good stuff and not this wicked stuff... ;)
